In the first round of the NBA playoffs that ended today, the Houston Rockets lost to the Golden State Warriors 89-103 at home, and unfortunately stopped in the first round. Despite losing this critical battle, the outstanding performance of the three young players in the Rockets team won the title and praise from famous basketball commentator Su Qun. At the beginning of the game, the Warriors showed a strong championship background. With their excellent three-point shooting feel and tacit team cooperation, they quickly established a leading advantage. Under the leadership of young players, the Rockets resisted tenaciously and approached the score many times. However, the Warriors' experience and stability played a role at the critical moment, and they finally successfully eliminated the Rockets and advanced to the second round. After the game, Su Qun highly praised the Rockets' three young players, Amen Thompson, Ethan and Shin Kyung, on social media and basketball commentary programs. He said that the potential and fighting spirit shown by these three young players in the game allowed people to see the Rockets' future.

Amen Thompson has performed well on both sides of the offense and defense. On the offensive end, he used his speed and breakthrough ability to tear open the Warriors' defense line many times to create opportunities for his teammates. In the whole game, he played for 37 minutes, made 9 of 15 shots, efficiently scored 24 points and 9 rebounds, with a plus-negative value of +2, which is one of the few highlights of the Rockets. On the defensive end, Amen Thompson's positive attitude and excellent physical fitness have allowed him to successfully limit some key players of the Warriors, especially in the defense against Curry. He caused a lot of trouble to Curry, which made the superstar feel pressure when attacking. Su Qun commented on Amen Thompson: "He has top talent and comprehensive skills, and is expected to become a defensive player and the team's offensive core in the future."

Ethan, as a substitute for the Rockets, showed a strong desire to win after he came on the court. During his 16-minute playing time, he made 3 of 4 shots, scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 steals and 1 block, with a plus-minus value of +2. Ethan's defensive awareness and stealing ability left a deep impression. After making his debut in the second quarter, he was like a sharp knife, stealing Curry and Butler in succession, leading the team to a 12-0 counterattack wave, instantly changing the situation on the field. Su Qun praised Ethan: "He is the Rockets' energy source and can always stand up when the team needs it. His vitality and passion affect every teammate."

Shin Kyung's dominance in the inside is still an important support for the Rockets. Facing the Warriors' small lineup, Shin Kyung made 9 of 23 shots, 3 free throws, contributing 21 points and 14 rebounds in double-double, and 3 assists and 2 blocks. Shin Kyung did a great job of hooking, support and rebounding protection at the basket, scoring 8 points on 4 of 6 shots in the first quarter, laying a good start for the Rockets. On the defensive end, he successfully defended Curry alone and sent blocks many times, greatly limiting the Warriors' offensive rhythm. Su Qun said: "Shin Kyung is the Rockets' inside player, and his comprehensive performance has allowed people to see his potential to become a top center."

Although the Rockets lost this game, the outstanding performance of these three young players has made people look forward to the team's future. As Su Qun said: "The Rockets' future is bright. The experience accumulated by these young players in the playoffs will become a valuable asset on their growth path. I believe that in the future, they will lead the Rockets to a higher peak." For Rockets fans, this season may be a bit regretful, but they have reason to believe that this young team will bring them more surprises in the future.
